#Gateway by Samantha - April 2018 Scholarship Essay

To me, education serves as a #Gateway. We are often faced with obstacles and distractions throughout life, and without education we may go down an undesired path. As one gains education, it becomes easier to envision a future of success. Some people believe that in order to be successful, one must complete higher education. While it may be true that success is more attainable to those who are educated at higher levels, it is also true that any kind of education can serve as a stepping stone, or #Gateway, to success.

Education is one of the few tools one can possess that will never stop flourishing. Whether this growth comes from textbooks, peers, or hands-on experience, it has proven to grow and develop over time. Not only does education allow us to continue learning, regardless of our age, gender, or race, it allows us to build on our knowledge we already possess.

Education serves as a #Gateway to success in the sense that it opens our minds to experiences and people we have never met, or seen, and allows us to fully grasp concepts. The true #Gateway to success is education, which can be accomplished through dedication to knowledge. In a world of countless successful people, education is the #Gateway to reaching new heights. With a strong educational background, you will be placed into a pool of higher knowledge and seen as a #Gateway to future success.
